초록

본 논문에서는 왕립아시아학회 한국지부(Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch, RASKB)의 정기 학술지 『트랜스액션』의 초기(1900‒1924) 논문을 비판적으로 탐색했다. 연구 목적은 정치사회적 격변기를 지나던 20세기 초 한국을 서구인이 어떻게 인식했으며, 어떤 자료를 근거로 그러한 인식을 형성했는지 이해하는 것이다. 탈식민주의 시대를 맞이한 21세기에 개항기 한국을 표상(represent)했던 서구인의 저작을 어떻게 평가해야 하는가. 『트랜스액션』은 오리엔탈리스트 담론의 일부였는가 하는 문제의식에서 출발하여, 초기에 발행된 논문들을 1차 자료로 삼아 분석할 필요가 있다고 보았다. 이를 위해 각 논문의 참고자료를 해제하여 별도의 표로 제시했으며, 저자가 한문이나 한글 자료를 인용했을 때 해석상 오류가 발생한 사례를 지적하였다. 또한 논문에 나타난 저자의 관점을 분석한 결과, 이들이 당시 문명론자·관찰자·내부자의 세 가지 관점으로 한국을 인식했으며, 대다수 저자에게서 여러 관점이 중첩된 것을 발견했다. 이 외에도 당시 영어로 쓰인 논문에서 한국어의 로마자 음역 표기 방식이 일관되지 않았다는 점, 기독교 배경을 가진 저자가 자신의 견해를 성경에서 비롯된 표현과 비유를 사용하여 우회적으로 표현했다는 점이 해석상 유의할 점으로 지적되었다. 이 같은 탐색적 연구를 통해 오늘날 영·미 등 서구인들의 대한(對韓) 인식의 뿌리를 밝히고자 하였으며, 향후 『트랜스액션』 연구에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

Abstract

This study critically examined Transactions of the Korea Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society which has been published by western residents in Korea since the beginning of the 20th century. The early publications from 1900 to 1924 were particularly analyzed in order to study how these writers viewed Korea and what shaped their perspectives during this period of turbulence. The need for this study arose from a question whether the Transactions was a part of the orientalist discourse. How should we, in this de‒colonized era of 21st century, read these western writings representing Korea during the port opening period in early 20th century? As a result of this research, the bibliography of each articles was arranged as a separate table and it was also pointed out that these writers might have misinterpreted Chinese or Korean sources. It was concluded that these western writers of early RASKB mainly held three kinds of perception of Korea: the civilizationist, observer, and insider perspectives. In many cases, these perspectives overlapped in their writings. In addition, it was advised to other researchers who would conduct a research on Transactions in the future that they should pay attention to the fact that the romanization of Korean was inconsistent at that time, and that many articles implicitly revealed the author’s opinion by using biblical expressions or metaphor. In this way, this study attempted to explore the origin of the western perception of Korea.
